I've recently uploaded a Panorama photo and intended to upload the Large Version as well. But I discovered that, although I'm now able to upload the original at 7 MB with 3500px X 3500px in dimension, I have to downsize the "Large Version" to below 400kB and with a maximum length of 4000px.

Is there any reason for this, or is the Large Version of Panorama images just lagging behind in the overall change of the images uploaded to the site? The conversion of my large panorama (LP) was way too destructive, so I decided to upload a smaller and "cleaner" version.

I'm sorry, if I didn't make myself clear. When I want to upload a panorama image (and the previous upload was long ago) I work with two copies. One that is the original upload and which is 800 pixels wide and below 300kB.

The other one is the large version which is 4000 pixels wide and originally at 23MB. That's the one I have to reduce below 400kB according to the rules for Large Postings and that's is quite a reduction.

I'm aware, that I today may upload an original which is 3500 pixels wide and below 7MB. And Didi has explained to me that doing so, and using the right click "view image" eliminates the need for the Large Posting.

So, in reality there's no problem. Just me using the "old fashion way" of uploading.
